<p>How did Richard Nixon jumpstart his political career?</p>

<p>don't forget/getconfused all the doctrines and stuff</p>

<p>The Dawes Severalty ACT (1887) was like dividing reservations up into </= 160 acres for Indian families, and then granting them U.S. citizenship after 25 years, right? While the Dawes PLAN (uh...before WWI) was a system of U.S. giving loans to Germany, Germany paying reparations to Britain + France, and then B + F paying debts owned to U.S.? </p>

<p>Did I get those right?</p>

<p>the Dawes Severalty Act undermined Indian tribal sovereignety by breaking tribal land into individual parcels. Late 1800s, maybe 1887?</p>

<p>the Dawes Plan was a plan for economic aid to Germany after WWI. 1924 i thing</p>

<p>Who did the Dixiecrats nominate for President in 1948?</p>

<p>strom thurman.</p>

<p>what were the important elections in American history and why?</p>

<p>Oops, yeah it wouldn't make sense to have the Dawes Plan before WWI if Germany didn't have to pay reparations. Haha. </p>

<p>One important election was the election of 1840, because it was the first time that mass campaigning occurred to get votes. It also established William Harrison's Whig Party as a national party.</p>

<p>1896 was also an important year because the election of McKinley to presidential office signaled the end of the Gilded Period of lax political control.</p>

<p>EDIT: Just remembered 1800 as well - the Revolution of 1800 which transfered power from Federalists to Dem-Reps.</p>

<p>how about election of 1912, also pretty important, as well as 1876, marking the end of reconstruction</p>

<p>1941 and 1945! only cos FDR got... 4 terms.</p>

<p>Okay its not that important... D:</p>
